Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data security platforms fail to accurately reflect data object modifications and new data in real-time, leading to stale access controls and unauthorized user access.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for dynamically updating a data catalog by detecting changes in a data store, pulling metadata, generating access control metadata, and synchronizing with a data schema library to ensure real-time access control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional data security platforms use stored attribute access control, then access control is implemented, but the access control becomes stale and does not accurately reflect current data objects or tables

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess control accuracyVSAvoiddata synchronization delay

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the data catalog continuously monitors and detects changes in the data store, automatically updating access control metadata when modifications are detected. This closed-loop feedback ensures access control remains synchronized with current data state without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The data catalog performs self-service by automatically detecting changes in the data store and generating updated access control metadata without requiring external triggers or manual updates. The system autonomously maintains current access control information through its own monitoring and update capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the data store receives large amounts of new data objects daily and undergoes modifications, then data functionality is enhanced, but conventional access control cannot keep pace with changes

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata store flexibilityVSAvoidaccess control update speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the data catalog as a monitoring intermediary between the data store and access control mechanisms. This proactive setup enables automatic detection and response to changes before they impact access control accuracy, allowing the system to adapt quickly to new data objects and modifications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The data catalog serves as an intermediary layer between the data store and access control systems. It monitors changes in the data store, processes metadata, and generates updated access control rules, thereby mediating between data variability and access control stability without requiring direct coupling between the data store and access control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If manual updates to data catalog metadata are used, then access control can be updated, but the process is time-consuming and cannot reflect real-time changes

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess control currencyVSAvoidmanual update process

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data catalog implements self-service by automatically detecting changes in the data store and generating updated access control metadata without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously monitors, detects, and updates access control information, eliminating the need for manual metadata updates while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical update processes with automated electronic monitoring and detection mechanisms. The data catalog uses automated change detection algorithms and metadata generation processes to substitute human-operated manual updates, thereby improving both reliability and efficiency of access control maintenance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Various methods and processes, apparatuses or systems, and media for dynamically updating of metadata in a data catalog for a change in a data store via a looped configuration are disclosed. The present disclosure provides detecting the change in the data store, automatically pulling, via the data catalog, first metadata corresponding to the change in the data store; automatically generating second metadata corresponding to the change in the data store; updating third metadata stored in the data catalog to incorporate information included in the first metadata and the second metadata for providing updated metadata; and updating a data schema library to reflect the updated metadata, in which the updated metadata and the updated data schema library modify an access control to allow a user group to access the changed data object in the data store.
